Hi Andrew: I don't know whether or not I have told you the story of thisQSL card. Here goes. Back in the later part of 1969, when I worked forWestinghouse, we built three specialized Radars for the Air Force to beused to score the accuracy of our Multi warhead ICBM's. I Installed omaboard the US S Houston, and the other two were to be installed on twoIslands in the Phoenix Islqnd Group, I was lead Engineer on theinstallation on Canton Island, and a second installation was made on theI~land of Enderbery, 30 miles away.
When I learned that I was to be on the installation team, Iimediatwly thought that it would be nice if we had a ham rig along sothat phone parches could be made back ro the Stares for the members ofour crew. I approached the Project Leader with the idea and much to mysurprise he was all for it! I called the FCC office in Wash DC to fmdout what license I would !1eedto operate from Canton Island, I was toldthat Canton Island was claimed by both the US and Great Britton. TheIsland was divided right down rhe middle. Our installation eas to bemade on the US side naturally, so they said I could use my Stateside callportasle KB6 (the prefix for the phoenix island groupe.)
Someone in the FCC office aparently leaked the fact that I was tobe operating from Canton to the East Coast DX Asso. because they wereon the phone almost immediately asking questions about my"{DXpeditionyo Canton Island. BEEN HAVING TRBL WElD MYCOMPUTER SENDING E-MAILS. LETS SEE IF IT WILL SENDTHIS AND IF IT DOES I'LL SEND YUO THE--- On Sun, 12/27/09, radiomanL <[email protected]> wrote:
